To be fair, many of the "2nd tier" casinos have great cash games at 1/2-1/3 during the WSOP with very little waiting. It's not the worst idea to play some of these rooms to save time

Playing $100 donkaments at SP might be the worst idea, however

His next shirt design will have the logo "GO RAMBLE"

So Troopers last 4 or 5 days consist of Doing nothing, some HU matches online, 1 live cash session for a loss, 1 live donkament for a loss.

He is really getting after it.

Clearly near broke.

R*R,

Respectfully,

The only issue keeping this thread from being the one and only thread for ALL vloggers like Trooper/Neeme, etc. is the daily (multiple times a day), vicious need of a very few posters to tear apart Tim Watts, to destroy any sense of Tim as an actual person, who is simply vlogging his life in Vegas and poker.

Trooper97, Tim Watts, is not the problem. In fact, he doesn't even post here.

Poker/Vegas vlogs have become a thing. They have become quite popular and Trooper97 is a big part of that. Please don't make a decision based on a few truly crappy individuals who post their sick bile not just here, but across all of Tim Watts' social media.

Cheers! And, best of luck in whatever decision you make.

I have enjoyed the videos, but his inability to follow through on plans this year is getting a bit frustrating:

1. Commits to weight loss challenge and blows it off probably gaining weight
2. Rushes back from road trip to make WSOP and then does next to zero WSOP activities
3. Says he is going to focus on eating better with zero results
4. Says he is going to increase his poker hours and then significantly decreases his hours.

The greatest mystery is how Trooper is not broke. Has a nice apartment, good car and eats out on the strip every day (I assume his COL is probably at least 2K a month). He has a sub minimum wage hourly at poker and barely puts in any hours, makes a couple hundred bucks a month on patreon, probably a few more hundred a month on youtube and has sold a few tshirts. Am I severely overestimating his expenses, underestimating his likely youtube revenue or does he have to have some other significant undisclosed income source?

Trooper is busy.

Do you think it's easy going to a different Coffee shop ?

Highly time consuming and stressful.

This

If I speculated​ who I think is supporting him, my post will probably get deleted.

Well now I really want to know who you think is

I might actually buy a Trooperwhere? shirt.

And also a coffee-pizza-poker-tunnels one as well..

Maybe your parents are supporting you and the trooper?

Good one, but nah, PA will take him in, I think.

Trooper's not very aware, but even he's self-aware enough to know he's basically a joke among the poker community. If he goes to any of the 'big-name' places, he figures he'll get some trolling or people trying to tilt him.

If you were Trooper, would you go to those places and open yourself up to that? Or would you stay in the lesser rooms and stay basically anonymous, or even be praised by Trooper fans who would be the type who would play in those second-tier rooms?

Is Neeme still in the ME?

Only thing I can think of is his South Carolina buddies might be giving him a very favorable staking deal. They seemingly think nothing of lighting money on fire by giving Trooper money to gamble it up at PLO when they are in town so it probably wouldn't be a significant investment for them, particularly if they like the videos and want to make sure Trooper can keep vlogging.

If I was trooper I'd embrace what I am (a kardashian of poker) and try to get just a little bit better to where I was beating 1/2 and a little 2/5, and connect with the casual fan.

Then I'd take shots at MTTs and open myself up some with transparency of emotions and play.

Maybe he's just taking a Wee Willie Keeler strategy and going to the rooms he thinks are least likely to have pros at the table.

There are those who feel this way so I get your opinion and I try and balance both sides. The "bile" on youtube and other social media comments is much worst than here and my notes in OP are being followed where possible. I think the tone of the thread is a great improvement over the original thread.

As much as I hate the all the pooper attention this thread gets, if he's moved to a containment thread, this one probably dies. What are we going to say? "Neeme with another solid vlog", "Boski is the mo'fging boss", etc... We need to take the good with the bad and damn it hurts so good to rail pooper. As surprised as I am I'd say keep them combined.

I'm pretty impressed that Trooper doesn't tip when he wins/cashes in tourneys if there is a dealer add-on. That **** is a scourge. Do any of the WSOP events have dealer add-ons? Are tips expected after you cash?

Thank you for the reply.

You seem to be quite the Trooper superfan. Any specific reason for that? I'm under the impression that Trooper used to post here a lot, and 2+2 was a big part of him getting his vlog off the ground and actually getting a subscriber base...

Not to derail, and this has been covered in the tipping thread, but If there is a dealer add on then that is all they are getting from me. As Everyone whether they cashed or not is tipping, basically forced to, and if I cash 20% of the time then 8 out 10 times I tipped even when I lost.

If they want to force pre tipping then that is what they get, in the old days you tipped if you cashed.

It's less impressive when you consider the fact that he hardly ever wins/cashes in tourneys.
